Kleinbahn Trail Edewecht
Highlight • Trail
Construction and operation were transferred by the municipality to the Grand Ducal Oldenburg State Railway. The construction costs were estimated at 429,000 marks. The Grand Duchy gave a subsidy of 130,000 marks; the community had to finance the rest itself. On December 15, 1912, operations opened on the standard-gauge, single-track railway, which was seven kilometers long. It was primarily intended to transport peat, which was also used as fuel for locomotives at the time, and to transport livestock.

Buffer Stop of the Former Narrow-Gauge Railway
Highlight • Monument
The peat railways, also known as field railways, used special wagons designed for transporting peat. These wagons were often long and had a large wheelbase to ensure a high load-bearing capacity. The car bodies could be removable and were lifted from the chassis using chain lugs and then transferred, for example, with a crane.
Double-flanged wheels were common because the tracks in the bog often couldn't be laid securely, and the wheels were designed to prevent derailment.

Kleinbahn Hiking Trail Edewecht–Küstenkanal
Highlight • Trail
The always weak passenger traffic ended in May 1950, and freight traffic was stopped in September 1991.
The tracks were dismantled and the beautiful narrow-gauge railway hiking trail (and of course cycle path) was built in their place.
